BUSINESS partners Alison Mattock (right) and Charlotte Nethercoat have cause to celebrate.

The two physiotherapists marked the first year of their new business, Wellfield Physiotherapy, with a party at Huddersfield Rugby Union Football Club.

In the first 12 months, they have worked hard to turn their base at Wellfield House, New Hey Road, Huddersfield, into a welcoming clinic and attract a growing list of clients.

Guests at the event included Andrew Choi, executive director of the Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, and the duo’s business mentor David Wood, of Eddisons. Mr Wood was assigned to the pair as part of Alison’s place on the New Enterprise Allowance programme– a scheme for jobseekers run by West Yorkshire Enterprise Agency.

Now she’s successfully completed the enterprise programme, Alison and Charlotte have volunteered to act as mentors for another local start-up company.
